BCBS of Louisiana has received reports from individuals saying they received robocalls attempting to sell them health insurance or collect personal information. BCBS of Louisiana affirmed it is not behind the calls.
“Hang up right away if you get a recorded call from someone you did not ask to call you. The call is likely fraudulent or malicious,” BCBS of Louisiana said.
Automated phone calls offering ACA-compliant or other health plans are on the rise, especially as the 2019 open enrollment session continues after its Nov. 1 launch, according to California Healthline. Nomorobo, a company focusing on stopping robocalls, estimates the spam-call-blocking service tracked more than 850,000 robocalls related to health in October.
